PvE: waves and bosses

Mob waves, minibosses, bosses, and skills to upgrade.

How to get there

F4 → PvE, then pick a zone and teleport. Teleport is refused if you are in combat, in Build or in the AFK zone.

Waves

Each zone chains harder and harder waves. The first ones send headcrabs, zombies and Civil Protection; then antlions, Combine and fast zombies.

Some enemies are minibosses — the poison zombie, the shotgunner — and the final wave brings a boss, the Guardian, much tougher.

What it pays

Each kill gives money in your personal bank, player XP, and PvE crate points. A normal mob pays a few euros, a boss much more.

650 PvE points open one PvE Crate.

Skills

The PvE menu (F4 → PvE, or !pve) has a Skills tab. PvE points earned on mobs are spent there. Bonuses only work in PvE zones, never against other players.

  • PvE damage — you hit mobs harder
  • Vitality — more health
  • Agility — you move faster
  • Loot — more money per kill
  • Vampirism — you heal on kill
  • Resistance — you take less damage
